סמבה בתו אחד / Samba de Uma Nota Só
מאת קרין ברד Eis aqui este sambinha, Feito numa nota só
הנה כאן הסמבה הקטנה הזו, בנוייה (מושתתת) על תו אחד בלבד
Outras notas vão entrar, Mas a base é uma só
תווים אחרים הולכים להיכנס, אבל הבסיס הוא אותו (תו) יחיד
Esta outra é consequência, Do que acabo de dizer
האחר הוא צירוף מקרים, של זה (התו) שסיימתי לדבר עליו
Como eu sou a consequência, Inevitável de você
כמו שאני צירוף המקרים, הבלתי נמנע שלך.
Quanta gente existe por aí, Que fala tanto e não diz nada, Ou quase nada
הרבה אנשים קיימים שם, שאומרים הרבה אך לא אומרים דבר, או כמעט דבר
Já me utilizei de toda a escala, E no final não sobrou nada, Não deu em nada
אני כבר השתמשתי בכל הסולם, ובסוף לא השארתי כלום, לא תרמתי בכלום
E voltei prá minha nota, Como eu volto prá você
ו(אז) חזרתי לתו שלי, כמו שאני חוזר אלייך
Vou cantar com a minha nota, Como eu gosto de você
אני הולך לשיר עם התו שלי, כמה שאני אוהב אותך (את אהבתי אלייך)
E quem quer todas as notas, Ré, mi, fá, sol, lá, si, dó
ומי שרוצה את כל התוים, רה, מי, פה, סול, לה, סי, דו
Fica sempre sem nenhuma, Fique numa nota só
נשאר תמיד בלא דבר (ללא אף תו), מוטב שתישאר באותו תו יחיד
(או כמו שג'ובים תרגם את זה: "ימצא עצמו ללא שום מופע, מוטב שתנגן את התו שאתה מכיר"...)
וזה התרגום לאנגלית של אנטוניו קרלוס ג'ובים (ברבים) לשיר שלו:
This is just a little samba, Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow, But the root is still that note
Now this new one is the consequence, Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing, Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know, And at the end I've come to nothing, Or nearly nothing
So I came back to my first note, As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note, All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show, Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show, Better play the note you know
Other notes are bound to follow, But the root is still that note
Now this new one is the consequence, Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing, Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know, And at the end I've come to nothing, Or nearly nothing
So I came back to my first note, As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note, All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show, Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show, Better play the note you know
